DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9812
Abstract: Abstract Mating behavior can play a key role in speciation by inhibiting or facilitating gene flow between closely related taxa. Hybrid zones facilitate a direct examination of mating behavior and the traits involved in establishing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10164-019-00616-3
Abstract: The strength of mate choice, pre-copulatory sexual selection more generally, is predicted to vary according to a range of social and demographic factors, including the operational sex ratio (OSR). The OSR influences the number of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11033-018-4457-4
Abstract: The multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) protein belongs to a secondary transporter family, which plays a role in transporting different kinds of substrates like phytohormones and secondary metabolites. In plant, MATE transporters related to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.06.013
Abstract: Precopulatory mate guarding (PCMG) is frequently presented as a classic case of sexual conflict between partners. For instance, long-lasting PCMG is regarded as an adaptive male strategy to secure a female in a context of… read more here.

Acoustic and physical mate guarding have different effects on intruder behaviour in a duetting songbird

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.11.011
Abstract: When males compete for mates, they often defend paternity through mate guarding. In addition to physical guarding, in vocal species, especially duetting birds, individuals may duet with their mates in order to guard them. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2020.06.019
Abstract: Quantifying the direction and strength of mate preference is essential to improve our understanding of sexual selection. Experimental designs, however, often do not consider how individuals evaluate and compare the available options, which may affect… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2016.12.018
Abstract: Multidrug transporters play key roles in cellular drug resistance to toxic molecules, yet these transporters are also involved in natural product transport as part of biosynthetic clusters in bacteria and fungi. The genotoxic molecule colibactin… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2017.12.024
Abstract: The search for mates is often accompanied with conspicuous behaviour or morphology that can be exploited by predators. Here we explore the evolutionary consequences of a trade-off that arises naturally between mate acquisition and risk… read more here.
